Budget Process Administration examines the set costs as determined by contractual obligations, projections for health care, projections for operational costs, etc. Administration reviews and studies enrollment projections and, after registration time, includes actual numbers into enrollment projections for 2011-2012. Following this, staffing changes are planned. Building and cost site administrators submit budgets according to the budget calendar distributed in early fall. The building principals are given a per pupil and building allocation amount for planning that covers everything but salaries and operations: Elementary $208 Middle $215 High School $242 An early retirement incentive plan resulted in salary savings. Health Care rates are at a historical low. No new additional programs were added. 3
